This review is actually the same as from the other side.At first you are in city traffic. At the intersection with the auto highway, the traffic is insane. After that it flattens out. And from the stretch where only cyclists and hikers are allowed, the actual goat trail begins. The last 1.5 to 2.5 km at this climb is gravel, but doable with race bikes. This is FOUND INFORMATION.

Deze review is eigenlijk dezelfde als vanuit de andere kant.In het begin zit je in stadsverkeer. Op de kruising met de auto snelweg is de drukte waanzinnig. Daarna vlakt het af. En vanaf het stuk waar alleen fietsers en wandelaars mogen komen, begint het eigenlijke geitepad. De laatste 1,5 tot 2.5 km staat bij deze klim gravel, maar te doen met racebike. Dit is FOUTE INFORMATIE. Tot de echte top kan je niet met de racebike. Ik zou er zelfs niet aan beginnen met gravelbike. Hier heb je een MTB voor nodig! Wel mooie klim!.
